What is recorded here
Knockaderry holds a forgotten chamber where human fire once warmed the dark. The fairies took it back and build no visible house, only a boundary the flesh cannot cross. They wait for the chamber to empty, then they return inside and live again.
In pasture, on crest of E-W running ridge. Roughly circular area (24m N-S; 23m E-W) enclosed by earthen bank (int. H 0.15m; ext. H 0.65m). Interior level and under pasture. Field boundary skirts enclosure at N.
